Find users with a certain number of inventory items

Hi, given the nature of our game (CCG), we'd like to gather metrics on who owns the most cards or the average number of cards per user, who is causing us to move up the pricing tier ;) etc..

Is there such a report or user search criteria possible? If not, how can I gather this information?

Thanks

Absolutely - our Snowflake integration is specifically designed for allowing you to do a deep-dive on your players actions and behaviors. 100% of the events for your game are available in the data for purposes of deep-dive analytics. https://playfab.com/add-ons/snowflake/

To get an inventory count specifically, you would need to check all the grants and consumes for the users. That would also allow you to map out the most and least popular items overall.

Thanks Brendan. I looked at the https://api.playfab.com/docs/tutorials/landing-analytics/getting-started-with-playfab-snowflake and the SQL queries to write.

Is there any non-technical way to get at this data? Since we are a small startup, if we can leave our developers to continue doing what they are doing, it would keep us moving, than having to divert resources to run analytics.

Are there plans to add additional searchable fields to the Player profile? https://api.playfab.com/playstream/profile/PlayerProfile

We'll likely add more to the profile over time, but the inventory would be an unlikely addition. The way inventory systems work, it wouldn't be a good fit for the profile directly, and having it separately maintaining information on the inventory would run the risk of sync issues.

Roger that.

With these analytics add-ons, is it right that they only show the event data since the add-on was enabled?

Meaning, events prior to that are inaccessible and there's no way to get the info noted above, specifically users with most inventory items.
